Every EventUp listing includes the same venue information regardless of which package you choose. There are four fields or pieces of information that are often overlooked and forgotten by the venues when building their listing.
These listing fields are not required. However, social, corporate, and wedding planners find this information incredibly useful when deciding which venue will be able to accommodate the event or party of their dreams.
These four pieces of information will appear under the ‘Closer Look’ section of your EventUp venue listing.
More than 80% of people trust reviews online even if they don’t know the person who wrote the review; they are more likely to request a quote when the venue has been positively reviewed.
On your EventUp venue directory listing, you can add reviews from the following sites:
These three sites will cover a wide variety of positive feedback from your previous planners and guests.
Google Review
Yelp Review
Facebook Review - Note: Only 1 review is available to embed for Facebook at a time! Unlike Google and Yelp, a customer will need to add each individual Facebook review.
In today's climate, event planners rely more on virtual tours to see a venue's space and possible capabilities before requesting a quote or booking a site review. It's best to record a few virtual tours with a blank space and set up for different types of events that you have previously hosted. Seeing events in action helps the event planners envision the possibilities that your unique space offers them.
Here are some more video ideas that planners will find valuable: private space tours, planners or guest testimonials, set up process for an event, live event footage, and food or floral preparation.
Add your most frequently asked questions about events and parties at your venue to help answer as many questions as you can during the browsing phase for event planners.
Another valuable tool for event planners is floor plans, especially for larger events such as weddings or corporate functions, which typically require multiple areas within the venue. Creating floor plans for your venue is easier than you think; below are a few options that will help you to create floor plans either with software or do-it-yourself tools.
On your listing, you can upload an image, a PDF, or a professionally created plan. It’s better to showcase a floor plan you have created yourself for the planner to be able to print and start mapping out the flow of the event versus leaving that information blank. You can always upgrade the plan later once you have the budget to secure a professionally drafted floor plan.
